We were supposed to talk about getting into trouble, and for a little bit, we did, but listen we're still in the pandemic that made us start this podcast in the first place, so we talked about what we wanted to talk about. Peloton, And Just Like That, social media and soft pants. It's a VERY fun episode and you should listen, and then order Valerie's new album Beach Trash using the links below!    Buy Valerie's Album: Link to presale   Follow Valerie: http://www.valerietosi.com...2022-01-1953 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#66 I Was Obsessed With True Crime with Hillary Fitzgerald CampbellThis week we welcome New Yorker cartoonist, comedian and author of Murder Book Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell to talk about something near and dear to our hearts - TRUE CRIME.

We were supposed to talk about her experiences being the middle child, but quickly segued into talking about that one friend, we all had one -- they're older, they're reckless, the red flags are plentiful and waving but we couldn't seem to see them at the time. Tanya had a party friend, and we KNOW she's not alone. This story has everything a teenager could want: an RV, UV vodka, cheetah print bikini tops and more.    Follow Tanya:  IG: @TanyaMansfieldComedy   Follow Pinky Prom...2021-09-2957 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#63 I Was Home During A Robbery With Ben GorodetskyEven been home alone during a robbery? Comedian, writer and this week's guest Ben Gorodetsky has. As an 11 year old with temporarily unsupervised internet access, it should have been every boy's dream evening. But unfortunately for Ben things took a turn. From excellent stranger danger boundary setting (DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WHEN A STRANGER KNOCKS!) to head smacking police blunders (GO TO THE RIGHT HOUSE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE) to the wild tale of Ben and his family surviving a SECOND home invasion years later, this episode is NOT one to miss.  Follow Ben: IG...2021-09-2241 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#62 I Grew Up Evangelical with Dave ApkarianThis week we're joined by comedian Dave Apkarian. Growing up in an Evangelical church, Dave took what he saw around him and used it to his advantage - like thinking if the spirit of the Lord entered him, a cute girl would TOTALLY be into him. Surprisingly it didn't work. Outside of church Dave and his brother stayed busy doing kid stuff like watching Terminator and helping their dad with laborious farm work including an insane story about a pig that you absolutely don't want to miss.  Follow Dave:  IG: @@daveapkarian Listen to Dav...2021-09-1554 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#61 Learning To Love My Body with Kristine Blinn***Content Warning: ED, body image, diet culture   This week we sit down with comedian Kristine Blinn and get right into it. It's a whole episode on body talk. From a little kid in a bathing suit to the grown ass woman she is today, it's been decades of mixed messages, negative self talk, learning to unlearn it, and sending 1 million middle fingers to the diet industry. We loved getting to have such a candid talk with such a wonderful guest.

Growing up as a big guy in a small town, when Pete started to realize he had feelings for men, he wasn't exactly sure how to navigate that terrain, so for a while he held it in. We are so glad he was eventually able to express his true self and share with us his stories of how he did it.

We learn Bridget had a personalized Mets bowling ball, a pretty historically accurate Harry Potter Halloween costume and for some reason she joined varsity golf in high school. Ok now that we read it all together, maybe she was dork after all.  Follow Bridget: Twitter: @B_Kavs IG: @bridgetkavanagh  // @oneofamillionpodcast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/oneofamillion    Follow Pinky Promis...2021-07-2144 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#58 I Was Pantsed At A Pool Party with Kayleigh DumasThis week we're joined by comedian Kayleigh Dumas for a tale no teen wants to tell: Kayleigh was pantsed at a pool party! It's your classic story of adolescent live triangles and passive aggression -- ok maybe aggressive aggression from the lenses of three adults who have clearly worked through the issues they had as young people and are doing much better now. Bullying disguised as friendship, undiagnosed ADHD, this episode really takes us back.    Follow Kayleigh: IG: @kayleigh_dumas Twitter: @kayleigh_dumas2021-07-1442 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#57 I Was Homeschooled with Emily LandrumThis week we welcome comedian and writer Emily Landrum! Emily is the oldest of 7 children and was home schooled in a Christian household. As you probably know by now Katie and Laura were...not, so they had a lot of questions! From nail polish envy to realizing she was sort of living in the Foot Loose town, we were thrilled to listen to Emily's stories of growing up not quite on the prairie, but like if the prairie had a snowboarding team!    Website: https://www.weloveemmballs.com IG: @emmballs Twitter: @emmballs   Follow Pinky Promise: IG: http...2021-07-0741 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#56 Most Spirited with Jay WhittakerFor comedian Jay Whittaker, high school didn't suck. Moving from Los Angeles to Orange County could have been disastrous, but a pro move by Jay's dad helped ensure a smooth transition (Moving between school years? Enroll your kids in summer school!) A social butterfly who could hang just as easily with the jocks, band geeks and theater kids, it's no wonder Jay was voted Most Spirited....twice!    Website: https://www.jaywhittaker.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/ItsJayWhittaker Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ItsJayWhittaker Follow Pinky Promise: IG: https://instagram.com...2021-06-301h 13Pinky PromisePinky Promise#55 Teacher Of All Trades with Orlando BaxterAfter college but before becoming a world traveling comedian, Orlando Baxter needed an escape from corporate America. The path he thought was going to lead him to being a guidance counselor actually made him a math teacher...and a television tech teacher...and a volleyball coach...and an in school suspension teacher. We loved getting to sit down with Orlando and hear all about the route he took to make a difference to the kids in his neighborhood, and ultimately what led him to keep pushing to find himself where he is today.  Follow Orlando: https://orlandobaxter.c...2021-06-2332 minPinky PromisePinky Promise#54 Crushes (That Didn't Pan Out) with Brian BeaudoinKatie Makes Brian Talk about His Crushes   This week we enter a podcast thruple with comedian and host of Katie's OTHER comedy podcast Wicked Funny, Brian Beaudoin.
